House Speaker Mike Johnson said Saturday he believes Republicans have the votes to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
“I believe we will,” Johnson told Fox News of a GOP-led impeachment inquiry. “I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should.”
Johnson added Republicans “have a duty to do this” and “we cannot stop the process.”
Republican leadership and key GOP committee chairs on Friday made the case for why they believe an inquiry vote is necessary, arguing it would strengthen their legal standing in court and accusing the White House of “stonewalling” their probe into the president and his son’s foreign business dealings – a claim the White House has forcefully rebutted.
Johnson, appearing alongside House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik, claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool.
He may or may not have the votes, but he certainly doesn’t have the evidence. However, that no longer seems relevant for Republicans.
They believe in the rule of law, just like they believe in Jesus. More of a mascot than a coach.
They see impeachment count as a political issue ever since Trump was rightfully impeached twice. Now they can’t be the only party with a president impeached so many times.
What evidence is required?
Another pandering to the base waste of time and taxpayer money.
Yet they keep getting elected.
The problem with morons is they enjoy being pandered to. When a large portion of the voting electorate possesses less critical thinking skills than the average elementary school child, you can see how pandering to what they perceive to be their “in-group” is THE MOST effective strategy. Until education, gerrymandering, and the problems with the electoral college are addressed in this country we will always be in perpetual position of potential minority rule by the stupid, lowest common denominator of the voting public.
I really believe you should at least have to take a pop quiz on your party’s current platform before you’re allowed to vote.
Well yeah, because they pander to the base.
Why govern when we can do performance art! Yeah!
“claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool”
lol… not ‘used as’ one… it is one.
Does he have any actual evidence?
They have tons of evidence:
- Hunter Biden is the son of the current President.
- The current President isn’t a Republican.
See? Tons!
It’s all on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
I see they still dont have a single accusation for Joe. Hunter is not an elected official.
But what about ummm… Hunter’s dick?
Hunter’s hog is a matter of congressional record.
He’s not an elected official, but it’s an erected official
Mike ‘lying for the lord’ Johnson
I bet his son is actively trying not to look at his porn app right now, the stress is probably getting to Johnson.
“Elise and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice, when the Democrats used it for brazen partisan political purposes. We decried that use of it. This is very different,” Johnson said.
Oh ffs.
To be fair, it is very different. Trump committed some actual crimes. Serious crimes.
Republicans looked the other way, and for good measure plugged their ears while screaming nonsense like a bunch of toddlers who didn’t want to hear that it was time for bed.
How has the White House been stonewalling anything? They’ve been staying out of it entirely, as has the DOJ seemingly. It’s just that y’all conservatives have been failing at proving anything whatsoever about Hunter and have just been making yourselves look like idiots.
Poor guy lost one of his own yesterday and now he desperately needs some payback pandering.
This is so annoying. Like what are you gonna do it for? Biden being old? Having grey hair?
Won’t happen.
A formal impeachment inquiry vote on the floor will allow us to take it to the next necessary step, and I think it’s something we have to do at this juncture.”
While comforting that the republicans feel another fishing expedition would yield result, this is was what was promised last time.
That there would be undeniable proof Biden was corrupt.
And it yielded nothing. They had full access to his bank records/ taxes and couldn’t find anything?!
Either I have to assume that Sleepy Biden can hide his secrets better then the whole republican party, or I have to assume that the republican party isn’t competent enough to find the evidence.
Something something the enemy is both strong and weak
